Dear colleagues

I would be grateful to pick your collective brains please?

 

Are any of you offering NTproBNP (or even BNP) in secondary care, looking for acute heart failure? We have a directive suggesting that we offer this service, even though at present we only offer the test for chronic heart failure in the community. The trouble is we have no idea of the scale of this, and what size of workload we might expect.

 

Does anyone have experience of this? We are a population of 700,000 covered by 3 laboratories.

 

Thanks in advance and merry Christmas to you all!

 

Avril
